If you were to glance at my bookshelf, one thing may stand out to you. On the spines of almost every book on my shelf you will find that the majority of the titles are published by one organization, ASCD. This would not have been the case a few years ago. Sure, I had a … Continue reading Leading and Learning at #ASCD #Empower18 – @ASCDconf @ASCD #ASCDEmpower18 #seeyouinBoston

Innovation Kitchen: What’s Cooking? – #NAISAC @NAISNetwork #TMILearns @TMIEpiscopal
I've never seen myself as a mountain climber, but after yesterday's Innovation Kitchen session at the NAIS Annual Conference, I am reconsidering. I love the metaphor of a school's journey to innovation as a climb up a Magnetic Mountain, a series of day hikes, ascents and descents, and summits of innovation. All the while, the … Continue reading Innovation Kitchen: What’s Cooking? – #NAISAC @NAISNetwork #TMILearns @TMIEpiscopal
Setting Conference Intentions @TMIEpiscopal #TMILearns #NAISAC @NAISnetwork
I'll admit it. I am a conference fanatic. So, when our Headmaster sent me an email to save the date for the National Association of Independent Schools Annual Conference, I wasn't about to say no to that. Besides being excited about the fried chicken at Sweet Georgia's Juke Joint and the fact that I will … Continue reading Setting Conference Intentions @TMIEpiscopal #TMILearns #NAISAC @NAISnetwork
Innovation Takes Time – #IMMOOC
I am one of those people who craves change and sometimes actively seek it out. I one heard that, as educators, we should always be in the service of why. I feel like I ask “why” a lot as an educator. Not because I like to rock the boat, but because I am constantly trying … Continue reading Innovation Takes Time – #IMMOOC

What do comfortable clothes, a computer, a long school break, and professional development have in common? Engaged teachers in the Digital Age.

Guest post by Alice Bilbrey I've been a long-time user of Google Docs and Google Classroom as a part of my teaching practice, so I was thrilled when I received the go-ahead from TMI to open up a Google Classroom for my AP English Language and Composition course.

German Education Part One: Project-Based Learning – #BLOG365 Day 261 @TOPTeachGermany #TOPStudyTour #PBL #PBLChat
I have been holding off on posting about German education because I knew it would be a meaty post that required some time to flush out. So, this will be part one of a small series on German education. I can't do justice to the German education system in one blog post! Before I begin … Continue reading German Education Part One: Project-Based Learning – #BLOG365 Day 261 @TOPTeachGermany #TOPStudyTour #PBL #PBLChat
I Never Thought I Would…-#BLOG365 Day 184
This morning as I got set up to carry the baton with @ctqbaton I thought to myself, "I never thought I would be so into social media as an educator." I can remember the days of social media talks when I worked in public schools which consisted of: don't post, don't talk about what … Continue reading I Never Thought I Would…-#BLOG365 Day 184

Goal 1: Get … Continue reading Am I Leading Like a Tree?-#BLOG365 Day 178
